Newly elected MP Sunny Deol ended his ‘thanksgiving’ visit to the constituency by addressing a workers’ meeting at his adopted residence, wherein he promised to bring in big-ticket projects.
Deol was, however, asked by senior party leaders to keep distance from the media. Confirming it, a senior BJP leader said the MP was given these instructions because the party knows that he was unaware of the local issues and “any discussion with the press may backfire”.
“Before coming to the constituency on Friday night, Deol was busy working in Mumbai. We didn’t get much time to brief him. Under these circumstances, asking him to meet the media would not have been the right decision,” the leader added.
